India Can Make N-Powered Aircraft Carrier: Kakodkar -- Times Of India
MUMBAI: Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) chairman Anil Kakodkar has said that India is capable of designing and developing nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. He was speaking to reporters after delivering the 15th Lalit Doshi Memorial Lecture on ‘Nuclear Energy in India: Way Ahead’ in Mumbai on Tuesday. Asked whether India has such capability, he said, ‘‘Yes.’’
Kakodkar, however, declined to comment on whether AEC was designing a light water reactor for a submarine. ‘‘This isn’t the time to answer this question. You will be told at the right time,’’ he said. During the launch of INS Arihant, India’s first nuclear-powered submarine, PM Singh said sanction had already been given for the development of more such submarines.

My Comment: Sure .... they can build nuclear aircraft carriers, the support ships, the thousands of trained seamen, the carrier aircraft and the pilots to fly them .... yup .... no problem .... it will be ready next week.
Sighhhh .... I doubt it.
But a good question was raised by the Times of India reporter .... is India developing and designing a light water reactor for a submarine. This will raise the eyebrows of military strategists in Pakistan, China, Australia .... and of course .... the U.S.
